Having thought that statement over further, dearest sister in Christ, I find I need to qualify it.
Progressive thinkers detest liberty on principle as long as it's the liberty of others. In their own minds, they themselves are, of course, exempt from this rule: They want absolutely unfettered liberty of action for themselves. To gain power in the public sphere therefore entails that the liberty of others be totally suppressed. Progressives finally see every public question in terms of a zero-sum game expressed as a matter of social and political power. E.g., if anyone benefits, it must come at the expense of another. Oh, and don't forget: God is dead. So He can't stop us.
Or so they assume.
What a great way to polarize and divide what formerly was a more-or-less unified, society in common dedicated to the equal dignity, inalienable rights and equal justice for every citizen. That sort of thing is NOT a zero-sum game. It is the prescription for the empowerment of the human individual.
Which is an idea, ever since John Dewey, that the Progressive Educrats have been trying to smother in its cradle.
But we know "which side" they play for. Suffice it to say, they are no lovers of God.
Thank you so much for writing, dearest! and for noticing that complacency in the face of this demonic assault on Christianity and American society is not an option!
What a concept... two poles.. your liberty and MINE...
I hear ya.. They are INDEED Bullies...
BULLYS................
It's really that simple.. two teams.. it's about liberty..
AND the theft of liberty... liberty purloined.. stolen.. swiped.. ripped off.. intimidated.. hornswoggled..
MARXism(socialism) is theft of liberty... pure and simple..
I've never heard it explained quite so clearly..
One team stealing others liberties on a massive scale..
Two teams one team FOR liberty for all, and one team against liberty for all..
AND there some on BOTH teams confused as to the point of the GAME...
WITH some expressly ON PURPOSE exacerbating the confusion..
Some on one team would be on the other and vice verse had they known the point of the game..
Would be quite interesting (( IF )) it was not a game..
BUT in your face, rubber hits the road, reality..
Simply; theft of liberty.. probably "yours"...
God given liberty... stolen.. -OR- given away..
Amazing to observe.. (lock and load)..
Nice meme Betty..
Very wise, dearest sister in Christ! Thank you!
